Pressure on county over Azeem Rafiq allegations escalates
Sponsor Anchor withdraws from ‘future activity’ with club
The row over racism claims at Yorkshire escalated on Tuesday as a cabinet minister said “heads should roll”, a key sponsor said it was ending its relationship with the county and the club chairman was called to a parliamentary committee for an explanation.
Sajid Javid, the health secretary, criticised the club and demanded action from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) after ESPNcricinfo published what it claimed to be details of the report into the treatment of former player Azeem Rafiq. That included a senior player’s admission that he had repeatedly used the word “Paki” in reference to Rafiq, which was, according to the extract, deemed to be “in the spirit of friendly banter”.
